Profile:
An attractive right handed middle order batsman cast in the GR
Viswanath mould, the stockily built Ashok Malhotra never really did
justice to his talent in Test cricket and his overall figures are
disappointing. Picked to play for the country on the basis of some
excellent performances in domestic cricket, Malhotra did nothing of
note in his first few Tests and was discarded. He toured West Indies
in 1983 without making the Test team. Back in the squad against West
Indies at home in 1983-84, Malhotra fared better with scores of 32, 72
not out, 20 and 30 (top score in a total of 90). He was then discarded
again before returning to play in one Test against England in
1984-85. He was a member of the Indian team that won the World
Championship of Cricket in Australia in 1985.
In domestic cricket however Malhotra was a prolific run getter and for
a long time he held the record of most runs in the Ranji Trophy - 7274
runs (52.49) with 18 hundreds. His highest score was 258 not out for
Bengal against Hyderabad in 1989-90. Later he became a Test
selector. (Partab Ramchand)
